WASHINGTON — Osama bin Laden, the Saudi extremist whose al-Qaida terrorist organization killed more than 3,000 people in coordinated attacks on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, is dead following a military operation in Pakistan and the U.S. has recovered his body, U.S. President Barack Obama announced Sunday night.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in the playground is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no props, and may the mods have mercy on your soul.

Since this thread was brought back up, this was on Matt Hughes website/blog right after it happened (not trying to have a political post but I was just very surprised at Hughes' mostly positive comments on Obama in his reaction based on his obvious and outspoken political leanings). Not looking for any political comment replies to this, just probably something not many saw and thought it was worth sharing. Always good to see someone break the cycle of constantly disagreeing with anything the other party does.

"To be honest, I’ve got to congratulate Mr. Obama on what unfolded with the Navy SEALS and the attempted-capture/death of Osama bin Laden. I’m congratulating our President, because ultimately he had to approve the mission. I was kind of shocked when Mr. Obama was elected President because we were in a war and he has no military experience; but I think a lot of this goes back to the groundwork laid by the Bush administration, because Bush did sign the Patriot Act (that Obama disagreed with as a Senator). Also, some of the credit should go to Obama for not actually closing down Gitmo, like he said he would. So, once again I want to thank Mr. Obama for saying yes to the mission and great job to the US Navy SEALS who got the job done."
